A non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free license in the invention herein described, throughoutthe world for all purposes of the United States Government, with the power to grant sublicenses for such purposes, is hereby granted to the Government of the United States of America.

The bioactivity of these various new nitrogen-com taining compounds has been established by us in vitro but, as will be obvious to those skilled in the arts pertaining to the growth inhibition of bacteria, yeast, and molds, the compounds, besides being used as such, can for utilitarianpurposes be formulated using a liquid, viscous, or solid diluent.

The diluent or extender must be inert with respect to the compound involved and since this is the only significant requirement, a wide variety of these agents is operable, among which are petroleum jellies, various alcohols, polyols, vegetable oils, and the like.

The compounds of this invention were screened for their antimicrobial activity against two bacteria Bacillus sp., and Pseudomonas sp. and a number of pathogenic yeasts or molds Aspergillus flavus, Candida albicans, Microsporum gypseum, Trichophyton rubrum, and Trichophyton violaceum.

Difco Bacto Dehydrated nutrient Agar at pH 6.8, Difco Bacto Dehydrated Yeast Morphological Agar at pH 4.5, and Difco Dehydrated Mycological Agar at pH 7.0 were used to test the inhibition of the bacteria, yeast, and mold cultures, respectively. The micro-organisms used were obtained from stock cultures. Seeded agar plates were used to measure the antibacterial activity against bacteria. Hardened agar plates inoculated either by streaking or pouring the culture onto the plates were employed in the activity estimations against molds. Standard size (6.5 mm.) paper discs wetted with the test compound were placed on the surface of the agar plates inoculated with the test organisms. When streaked plates were used the test compounds were added onto the specified areas.

To eliminate any error which could result from an insufficient number of tests, a minimum of three experiments employing duplicate plates was used for measuring the antimicrobial activity of each compound.

All test plates were incubated at the optimum growing temperature for each organism. Zones of inhibition were compared with those of the controls after periodic readings after 3, 5, and 7 days. The 7-day readings compiled in Table 1 show that the compounds were effective as growth inhibitors against specific organisms.

" Zone of inhibition extends up to 0.5 cm from disc; 00 organism failed to grow on disc; 0 slight growth of organism on disc; no inhibition detectable.

A Aspergillus flavus; B Candida albicans; C Trichophyton rubrum; D Trichophyton violaceum; E Microsporum gypseum; F Bacillus sp.; G Pseudomonas sp.

Specific examples showing the preparation of each of the new compounds being claimed are set forth below along with appropriate data in Table l which establish the growth inhibiting properties of the claimed compounds.

EXAMPLE 1 The hexachlorocyclopentadiene adduct of oleoyl chloride was prepared by reacting, under a nitrogen blanket, grams of oleoyl chloride with 145.2 grams of hexachlorocyclopentadiene in a flask equipped with a condenser for 28 hours at C. Since neither hexachlorocyclopentadiene nor the adduct absorbs bromine, iodine values were used to determine the percentage of the oleoyl chloride converted. The reaction mixture showed a 75 percent to the adduct. The excess hexachlorocyclopentadiene was removed by stripping at reduced pressure. Aliquots of the product, 8- l,4,5,6,7,7-hexachloro-3-octylbicyclo[ 2.2.1 ]-5-heptene-2-yl)octanoyl chloride, were used to prepare the corresponding N-substituted amides described in Examples 2 to 16.

EXAMPLE 2 The N,N-dibutyl amide of the hexachlorocyclopentadiene adduct of oleic acid was prepared by dissolving 14.6 grams of dibutylamine and 11.4 grams of triethylamine in benzene and adding dropwise with stirring 57 grams of the oleoyl chloride adduct prepared by the procedure of Example 1. After stirring for an additional hour, the reaction mixture was filtered, washed successively with dilute hydrochloric acid and water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, percolated through a column of activated alumina to remove residual free acid, and stripped. N,N-dibutyloleamide was removed by two urea clathrations. The product obtained by stripping the filtrate was dissolved in commercial hexane and residual urea was removed by washing with hydrochloric acid and water. The solution was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and stripped. The product, N,N-dibutyl-8-( l,4,5,6,7,7,- hexachloro-3-octylbicyclo[ 2.2.1 ]-5-heptene-2-yl )octanamide, gave the following analysis: C, 55.56
